Abstract :
A novel design procedure for frequency triplers is presented. After first determining optimum bias conditions for frequency triplication, stable regions of operation are determined. The dependency of output power and conversion gain as functions of terminating stubs at all frequencies is examined. An experimental validation is finally carried out.
